[GNC] Trouble Installing Online Price Retrieval Tool

Hello Geoff,
Many thanks for the fast reply.
Actually the Perl scripts ran longer than 30 minutes.... much closer to 3 hours and after all that It threw up an error about "Alpha Vantage  API Key". I had to manually visit the alphavantage website and request a key and update Gnucash app under edit/preferences.
Is this normal?
Once I updated the key It seems work okay now.
Like I said before, I am still a newbie at this, 
My next step is how to setup a stock symbol in the price database/Get quotes button?
Currently pressing the button only gives me currency conversion between USD and INR.
Thanks,

 Hi Sudesh

Some of the required Perl modules take a considerable time to install 
and the process may appear to "freeze" when in fact it is only "resting".

Can you try again - you need to run the "gnc-fq-update" script located 
in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\" directory - and send a 
screenshot if it is still hanging after 30 minutes.

Thanks

Geoff
